My thoughts and prayers to the Horstman family. I have such great memories of Jeff from High School. He was always up to something to keep us entertained. His weekly visits and participation in the "Rocky Horror Picture Show", dressing and acting like Kiss at the talent show and many other daring antics. Linda I sure your life together was never boring. Thanks for all the great memories that you left for many of us and your family. Till we all meet again.
